Artemis Fowl Confidential The Ultimate Artemis Fowl Fan Site
Eoin Colfer has recently spoken with Irene Feighan from ‘The Irish Examiner.’
From the article:
EOIN Colfer is on sabbatical in Dublin with his family. They moved from Wexford town to Monkstown a few months ago and, from cafes to theatres, are loving life in the big city.
“We are hoping to be here until our youngest son is finished primary school — which is one more year. And then we’ll go home,” says the author of the best-selling Artemis Fowl series and Laureate na nÓg, Ireland’s laureate for children’s literature.
In the meantime, Colfer is making the most of his temporary location, which includes frequent visits with wife Jackie to local eateries.
“We go out for lunch nearly every day,” he says.
“It’s a lovely thing to be able to do because I know most people don’t have the time. Jackie usually has fish, so I can’t really have a load of chips. I have to try and at least maintain the illusion of healthy eating.”
The couple have two sons. “Seán is 12 and is in school in Dalkey. Finn is 17 — at the moment on his first solo holiday with a few mates in Spain, so we are living on nerves.”
